Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon said in a TV news appearance Wednesday that he will vote to release the Epstein files when a bill gets to the House floor next week.

Bacon, who is retiring from Congress, was among the first Republicans to confirm they would vote with Democrats, and since then officials from both parties have indicated that anywhere from a few dozen to more than 100 GOP representatives could vote that way.

But the path to the actual release of the files remains steep. Bacon cautioned the public against expecting damning or explosive findings and noted that even if the bill passes the House, it could fail in the Senate or stall with a veto at the president's desk.

Bacon expressed trust in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's investigative process, citing documents it has already uncovered and released.
